The hybridization of a gasoline engine is a wonderful thing. Especially when it's pushing more than 300 horsepower in a sport sedan built to take it. Hybrids, combining an electric motor and battery pack with a gasoline engine, are heralded for their fuel economy and substantial reduction in tailpipe emissions.

A Camry versus Accord battle is usually a good, old-fashioned slugfest for midsize supremacy between two very worthy contenders. One or the other seems to lead the sales race every year. Hybrid versions of each vehicle are finally on the market, and though much was expected, it's difficult to think of two more highly anticipated vehicles that have missed the mark so completely.

So you're in the market for a hybrid vehicle. What are you looking for: economy, luxury, speed, environmental bragging rights?
What sells hybrid vehicles? I thought I knew the answer. But from the array of hybrids now hitting American highways, I must have been mistaken.
